President Johnson at Bslolgh, H. O.?Mr.
Beward and Poatmaater Osnsral Bandall
acoompauy him.
Tits citizens of ltaleigh appointed a day
to lay the lonndniion of a monument to the
father of President Johnson, who used to
live at that plnce. and where the President
was born mid raised. *^lie reoeption of the
j President by the citizens of ltaleigh, State
officials. Governor and others, was very
kind. Speeches were interchanged, not
much politics in them. Mr. Seward in'a
?hort speech, emphatically pronounced l'res
id. nt Johnson's aims and policy to be wise
and patriotic. This is conclusive, that this
very eminent man is quite separated from
the extreme men of iris party. He is a conservative.
One of the speakers alluded to
the fact that the President had left Raleigh
on foot a poor boy,and had returned to visit
his nsiive town riding In a carriage and
four, ami chief rulur of forty millions of people
; such is a democratic country
We belicr e the President does not mean
to extend Ida visit farther South, but will
soon return to Washington City.

The old gentleman was on a visit to his

to be at the place where the saw was in
opeiatlon, mid observing n piece of plunk
in the way, he attempted to rr-niove it ; in
doing ro. the plank was caught by the saw.
He was jerked upon it whilst it was in full

It woul<1 aeons tfcnt the systematic ftlfl
toods end erucl misrepresentations, uifl
[erstions and slanders of the Southern psol
pie, that hirelings of the Northern Press,
snd fanatleal politicians have so long pour
cd down the Northern stomach, voracious
r?f such food, have at last vomited that over
stuffed 01 pan. In ?jeering some df the mesh
engers of lies from that capaeioas maw, the
N#-thorn eye sees In the partially digested
material it has swallowed loathsome creatures,
now dlvrsted of ths hull of affected
philanthropy, such philanthropy as Is shown
hy the right toga! Governor of a certain reconstructed
State.
Military power, under, and by the virtue
of the monstrione misrepresentations of ths
iwutli, lias been established in I he Southern
States by Act of Congress. A great object
rupposed or assigned by the frnmers of that
1 tw was the protection of the lives, property
and peace of I ho Imyal eitiaene, negroes, Ac
The military came South accordingly for
the objects and purposes aforesaid, and
liters comes also this, that and the other
distinguished high and mighty loynl man
fr< in the loynl North, nnd commences ftgl"
tnting and propagating the true faith. The
military power ia now the witneaa of the
facta at (hey are, and not aa lltey have been
reported. The pence breakers, rioters and
riot breidvrs are identified to be the very
elect loyalntr, par excellence, freah from I lie
Nortli ; f/otiey-euta from the comb of the
Northern Hive, and the creatures that
swarm around them ate the city negroes ?
The military power, truo to its mission of
preserving order, haa felt the necessity of
restraining these loyal agitators within
bounds, and lias been obliged to threaten
the riotous negroes with grape nnd canister.
The military have found, that, in and about
tiie cities especially, aa well as some other
places, property lias to be pr< tccied from
black thieves and robhrrs more than from
the other olasa. We eee in Charleston and
other places, negro burglars and ihlevca
have taken the pi nee, to a large extent, of the
Kuropean and Northern city rogues, that
formerly did nioet of the stealing. In short
the military have found I' at the invadeisof
property nnd di-tlurbers ?-f pence are not
the so called disloyal whites, ae heretofore
rc| resented, so much as their supposed vie
lima.
The plain truth ie, the sensible people of
the North, of alt parties, begin to understand
that the words loynl aud disloyal are'sa lly
misapplied. There are no better friends in

Jfcttn. Editor*?In all lauds, but most trqly
in our Southern latitudes, at this strange epoch,
may it b? said that " the nictations of fortune
equally with the lapso of time, nre transporting
life's pilgrims rapidly past the green fields
and blooming gardens of May, to the valley

Sad teardrops started,
Long years ago.
Youth in its earliest, holiest bloom, is gono;
and with many tho golden wings of that beau

bright hair waving above a snowy brow has j

Perhaps those dark eyes, that molted tho soul,
long ago, closoik in tho last still sloop.
" But memory, faithful to her trust,
- them in beauty from the dust."
Ab ! it's sweet to sit in tho stilly moonlight,
and recall the happy past.
Thoro are times in our life's journey when we
meet -bright eyes, and bear voices that thrill
as to the very heart; tones of other days, and
glances from tho mysterious " windows of tho
soul," thoso magical eyes, so like the doar ones
gone. They almost beguile us of our sorrows,
and make us belisve earth is the Kden. We
dreamed it waa of yore. We turn again sadly
to the beaten pnths of life, moro .reary,
perhaps, because of these moetings. Because
involuntarily
" We mftke visions of a different homo,
Such as we hoped in other days might bo.''
These faces, so strangely like the sainted
ones. These voices that whisper of the past,
plaintive as the wailing of night winds. And
tbo new found eyes, darkly, mysteriously Ifcautiful,
so ful| of sweet thoughts, so tender in
their gate. But hush ! busb ! Memory, llope,
Faith, Lore, sleep again beneath Lethe's thrilling

The host judges of mufio pronounced it a

I refer h*wti to Lord Brsou, who, I il)ink,
was the author of the figure, and a pretty
figure it la Professor DeCauto ought to bo
